Simply the Best External Drive made.
I use external hard drives on all the PC's in my office and home ( 8 in total). I've owned many brands over the last 10 or so years. The first external drive I purchased approx 1999 was an Iomega 60 gig. I still own it and is plugged into one of my desktop Pc's. I originally purhased it becasue Iomega sold me on their Zip drives. Over the years I tried Maxtor's, Western digital and seagates and all have died only the Iomega has survived. We had a good run with western digital but it seemed a few died after only a year and a half. If the line History always repeats itself is true then this drive should be around for years to come.
It's a solid drive that very quite. Hard drives are pretty much all the same with the big difference being how long they last. With my current drive lasting nearly 10 years I only hope the new drives are made as well as the old.
Great for the price
I have had my Iomega desktop hard drive 500 gb for one week. It is very quiet running, fast, and does not heat up like some reviewers indicate in their posts. Most every device puts off some heat, and this external hard drive is not bad at all. I think it is a good product for the price. I store artwork on it and there is no wait time for bringing up the file.
50/50 on this
bought 2 of these; one for work and one for home. The one for work died after a few months - can't even reformat it.

So far, so good!
After a nightmarish experience with a new laptop computer, I decided to order this to back up all of my files. I've got over 10 years worth of digital pictures and documents, as well as a lot of music. The Iomega Desktop Hard Drive arrived faster than expected, which was great! I plugged it into my macbook and was on my way. The computer recognized the hard drive right away and ran it through my time machine software. I saved everything that I had on to the hard drive and still had plenty of room to spare.
I like that this hard drive comes with a stand so that it can be set up on it's side if you're cramped for desk space. With the fat32 setup, it can work with both my mac and the other pc's in the house. Compared to the other 500gb external hard drives offered, this one had a very reasonable price. Hopefully, I'll get many years of use from it. I'll post an update if there are any changes.
